Why did King Wen recite Jiang Ziya after only a few hundred steps?

China has a long history and many things have happened. The Zhou dynasty can be regarded as the longest lasting one. It lasted for 800 years and many famous historical figures emerged. Many people should remember that Zhou Wenwang is only a few hundred paces behind Jiang Ziya, so let's find out why.

Jiang Ziya is a very wise man in history, and many people should think that he is a legend, especially the story of "Jiang Taigong fishing, the willing takes the bait", which everyone should have heard. Jiang Ziya is actually waiting for the arrival of an eternal monarch, that is, Zhou Wenwang, so there is the story of King Wen pulling rickshaws for 800 steps and the Zhou Dynasty lasting for 800 years.

At that time, Jiang Ziya was sitting by the river fishing, holding a fishing rod without bait, and fishing by the river for many days. Many passers-by passed by, which is incomprehensible, but Jiang Ziya did it to attract Zhou Wenwang's attention.

Jiang Ziya finally succeeded, and Zhou Wenwang went to visit him personally, hoping that Jiang Ziya would help him start a great cause. Jiang Ziya tested Zhou Wenwang's sincerity and said, "As long as you deliver the car to me yourself, I will agree to your request." Zhou Wenwang took Jiang Ziya on the road without hesitation.

At that time, Zhou Wenwang pulled Jiang Ziya for more than 800 laps in one breath, and stopped because he thought enough and his physical strength was a little exhausted. Then Jiang Ziya said, "This is an act of God! King Wen * * * has taken 800 steps and can protect you for 800 years. " Although Zhou Wenwang has some regrets, he is quite satisfied.

There is also a saying that Zhou Wenwang pulled in the wrong direction, pulling 500 steps to the east. When he found something wrong, he pulled 300 steps to the west, and finally fell to the ground because of exhaustion.
